Mastercraft owners seem to be very jealous of CC owners...

cant justify 50k for a boat that would only get used a few hours a week especially since we already have the 210, Supra and pontoon.

See what I'm saying ^^^^ haha.

I think the problem would be that the 196 bargain price would blow the 200 out of the water sales wise. If they could still produce a 200 in the 45-50k range they would blow out the doors.

I love the tsc-3 196. One of the best looking ski boats ever made in my opinion. I loved driving them back when I skid college. It was usually the highlight of my weekend.

I don't think it would be an "Axis" if it was stripped down. The Nautique quality would still be there. There is just a lot of things you could do to save cash.
